Our vision is to be a strong, independent transportation company that consistently delivers exceptional service to our customers, challenging careers to our employees and increasing value to our shareholders.and
In the mid-1990s, major rail mergers were underway in the western part of the U.S., allowing two major rail carriers to control approximately 90 percent of rail traffic west of the Mississippi River. At the time, KCSR was a smaller, regional railroad whose very existence was threatened by these consolidations. The holding company, Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. (now Kansas City Southern) either had to ready itself for sale or grow to survive. It chose to pursue a strategy to invest in Mexico, almost a century after Stilwell's vision.
Today, KCSR has been brought under common control with The Texas Mexican Railway Company and TFM, S.A. de C.V. to form a rail network with primary lanes stretching from Kansas City, Missouri to Lazaro Cardenas to Veracruz, Mexico and from Dallas, Texas to Meridian, Mississippi.
